The circus, Cirque du Soleil, began in Montreal, Canada. It was started by the Canadian Guy Laliberte in 1984. When he left college, Laliberte travelled around Europe and earned money playing music in the streets. Not long after he returned home, he started Cirque with his friend, Daniel Gauthier. During the 1990s, Cirque grew quickly. It now does shows all over the world and the number of people working for it has grown from 73 to more than 3500. The Cirque does not have any animals, but there is music and dance and each show tells a story. One show, which is called Varian, is about a man who could fly. The show starts with him falling from the sky and tells the story of how he has to learn to fly again.
